Description of  Traditional archery hunting: stories and advice about traditional bowhunting

In this entertaining collection of stories, Clay Hayes takes readers on traditional archery hunting adventures across the country. From the mysteries of the southern swamps, to the rugged mountains of central Idaho, Clay brings woodsmanship, and a fascination with nature, to the forefront. His enthusiasm and dedication to the hunt is evident as he reminds us that its more about the journey than the destination more about the effort than the inches. The stories in this book lean heavy on the most traditional and aesthetic of weapons the longbow. Not because he thinks it makes him a better hunter, but because its what he knows. Traditional archery is at the very core of why Clay hunts. It allows him to fill the hunters niche that was carved out ten thousand years ago. It forces him to overcome an animals senses, to exist within that hypersensitive bubble where game has evolved to detect and evade predators much more skilled than himself. In other words, it means a lot of tag soup, but an unparalleled sense of accomplishment when it all comes together.
